Year in Review: Everett had his standard year at the plate. He hit for a poor average (.238), with little power (ISO .087 and just three homers), while not taking many walks (6% BB rate). Add it all up and you have a wOBA of .279, which is par for the course with Everett. He gets playing time not because of his bat, but because he is a world-class defender at short. The 2009 season was no exception, as Everett had an amazing 13.6 UZR/150 at short. Because of his injury history – he missed most of 2008 with shoulder tendonitis – the Tigers limited his playing time and he got just 390 plate appearances.

The Year Ahead: Everett re-signed with the Tigers for 2010 and there is no reason to think that he will not be their starting shortstop. Even so, he may only get 300 to 400 PAs, as the Tigers will regularly give him days off and pinch hit for him. Plus, with his age and injury history, a trip to the DL is not unlikely. During his limited PAs, he will probably be one of the worst batters in the league. Assuming 350 PAs he should hit about .235 with two homers, 30 RBI, 30 runs, and three steals. If you are left with him as the only option at short in a deep AL-only league, understand you are getting one of the worst fantasy players. (Dave Allen)

Profile: UZR says the typically slick-fielding MI had a pretty weak glove in 2011. On the other hand, his typically quiet bat was as quiet as ever and he provides practically no fantasy value. (Chad Young)
